BELLES OF ST. MARY’S February 20, 1959 ;■ 3(n Hipmoriam Miss Kathci’ine Alorris was one of the people who built the traditions of love and fellowship that we, her students, hold dearest at St. Mary’s. In her own student years, Aliss Alorris must have had the loving heart, must have been^quick with the helpful word, the tender thought, and the kindly deed; in her years as an art teacher, she worked small miracles. In every student she inspired, through constant encouragement^ a determi nation to work harder, to produce finer results. She awoke creativeness and an awareness of beauty. Miss Alorris loved beauty and could find it anywhere, even in the commonest place; the pattern of light and shadow cast by the sun on a garbage can delighted her. Two qualities about Miss Morris stand out above all others. We knew that she loved us when, feeling the need, she forgot that she was. a teacher and helped us with personal decisions influencing our lives. Also, she possessed the rare gift of knowing she was hapjiy— a knowledge that made life a joy 10 her and to those who knew her. Time — June 3, 1863 Place — Gettysburg Pennsylvania Event—Pickett’s Charge On the third of .lune, the Confederates hail planned to launch an attack on the Union Army. The Yankees were situated on Cemetery Ilidge and Had anijile room loi- cover. On tlie other hand the Rebels had an open field to cross with little cover. In addition to this the Confede rates had used almost all their artillery before the attack materialized. General Pickett was supjiosed to lead 1,500 men across the field in the morning, but Longstreet held up the attack. For hours Pickett and Longstreet argued back and forth, discussing the military advisability of this attack. Finally, at I;00, Pickett started across that empty field, much against Longstreet’s desire. As he led his men to battle he was unsure of his move, and his men sensed this uncertainty. For as the soldiers had sat idle that morning waiting for their superiors to make up their minds they had lost their siiirit of loyalty and their desire to fight. Many people believe that Pickett’s charge could have been a decisive victory for the south, exeejit for the dissention among the leaders. It is true of any organization that if the leaders cannot agree, those who follow them will not have too much confidence or admiration for these leaders. St. Mary’s can be like that famous battle. If we have solid leader ship, we will follow and overcome many obstacles; but if our leaders are in disagreement, then our reactions will be as disorganized and reactionary as their leadership. Toni Lonning Faculty Fads The Belles ^ OF ST. MARY’S A Letter To The Editor A lot was said last week about happiness at St. Alary’s. It has been said that no one can find joy with an under-current of dissatisfaction — this, I feel is only jiartly true. As Alilton put it; “The mind itself can make a Hell of Heaven or a Heaven of Hell.” With a few more smiles, a few more “Hi’s,” and a few more friendly comments, any one can avoid the dismal and invo- cate the ha{)]iy. Yes, conditions around us do con tribute to our attitude toward life; yet, how much do they contribute? A person filled with bitterness, melancholy, or, siinjily, indifference can never find happiness even in Heaven unless he is happy within himself! Oh? A"ou say you haven’t got a mink coat? A Cadillac con vertible? A purjile cashmere sweat er? The world on a string? Too bad. But do you realize what you do have? 0]>en your eyes and look — and see. Some people can’t — they’re blind! I agree, St. Mary’s needs many changes, but why can’t we appreciate the wonderful j)rivi- leges we do have? St. Alary’s is not a Heaven, nor is it a Hell! But we, and only we, the students and the faculty, can make St. Alary’s the j)lace we want. AYs!! Changes must be made! But, not only the traditional rules—also the dejmessing attitude on campus. Let’s stop and think before we gripe and gossip, before we swing out at something we don’t understand. Let’s talk of the happy times, the I)leasant faces and forget the un happy ones —■ after all everybody has a right to be grouchy once in a while. AYs, we’ll still close ourselves behind doors and laugh at Jane’s Friday-night date or Nancy’s run- in with one of the faculty members, but let’s forget these continual grii)e sessions! Sure, there always will be someone griping about some thing, but why must we follow the crowd? Remember, the true St. Alary’s spirit springs from the heart of every individual on campus — not from the throat of the mob. Alaybe with a laugh, a “Hi!”, and a sincere compliment St. Alary’s will be a happy j>lace, a Heaven, and only those who gripe and grumble will find themselves in a Hell!
